Facebook audience insights further helps you in getting the minute details about your target audience. This is really helpful when you need to determine what kind of content would be the effective for your business.

Selling should not be on priority

Facebook algorithm was changed at the end of the year 2015 favoring the brand content rather the content that drive sales and thus it changed the way a post should be posted. Facebook wants the post should have the content that can be seen, read, like and share by the online users of the Facebook. So a post should not directly aim to sell. Post the content that helps the brand to put in front of the new eyeballs and extend the brand awareness on Facebook
Content is the master of all

Facebook post should should engage the audience and encourage them to participate in your Facebook conversation and help the brand by sharing the content. Content of posts should update the consumer and let them help the word. In order to get the maximum reach, the post content is the most important thing. On Facebook, here are four ways to present your content i.e. Videos, pictures, link and the text. As per the study of Socialbaskers, video is the most engaging content followed by the text, links and pictures. Before posting, do invest your time to analyze your audience and its behavior towards your business. Another thing to keep in mind is that post the data that would have the interest of public. The post should be catchy and should grab attention of your audience from first three to four words of the post. Online users have less attention span, so it is wise to maintain the content of post succinct and useful to the user.

It is also advisable to respond on the post. It is not fair on your brand image if you are not responding on your posts if there is anything asked by the user. You need to be frequent in terms of reply if any conversation is started under your brand page
Pinned post helps in a long way

A pinned post shows always at the top of your business page and would not come down even if you post any new content. And thus it helps your potential followers to like your page. If you want to share some information regarding any campaign or activity, you can pin it and let the users know about it.

Space out your post

Facebook posts should be done at regular intervals. Post has the chances to make it to the top when your target audience is the most active. Some research is to be done to know the behavior of your target audience. In general, the research concludes that the most appropriate time to post on Facebook is Thursday or Friday in afternoon 1 to 3 PM. Make a plan for your Facebook posts and create a road map for covering number of topics. For e.g. if you are in the fashion industry, you need to post updates about the fashion vogue and all. Make a content calendar and assign what to post on different days of the week.How to use Hashtags on facebook

Hashtags is not the sure shot formula to get the maximum number of views. Because on facebook, post without hashtags perform better than the posts with hashtags. So you need to consider the use of hashtag to do the branding on facebook. Some brands do use Hashtags because they are synonyms with the brand.
